Host Plant Specialization

Host Plant Specialization is a biological phenomenon within the broader context of coevolution and habitat specialization whereby a herbivorous organism exhibits selective adaptation to a particular plant species or lineage, distinguished by evolved physiological, behavioral, or ecological traits that enhance performance on that host while reducing fitness on alternative plants.
